New blood joins this earth,
And quickly he's subdued.
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules.
With time the child draws in.
This whipping boy done wrong.
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own,
That never from this day
His will they'll take away.
What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be.
Never see.
Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his.
He tries to please them all –
This bitter man he is.
Throughout his life the same –
He's battled constantly.
This fight he cannot win –
A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully –
That old man here is me.
What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be.
Never see.
Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

You labelled me,

Nice add, sir William! I'll bet Metallica have some other worthy gems.
I never expected to listen to Metallica on the Main Mix. Love it!
No words needed.
A very spaghetti Western feel to the intro. I've usually ignored Metallica dismissing them as headbangers but from this thoughtful song that's been my loss. I'll try to listen to them more from now on. As ever RP is my guide and education :)
Well, i never thought this would show up here! But i'm very impressed that it has. Hat's off RP (again)
Still great after all those years
Heck yeah 😎 👍🏽
